Pupils tend to come to school with pre-set mind that mathematics is difficult. Thus, in the long run, they grow to hate it. This results in their lack of practice in mathematics and their competence in this subject does not advance. This may not necessarily be the truth for all pupls in a class, but most do fall into this category allright. So, as teachers, we must take up the responsibity of nurturing a love of numbers in the young hearts and minds of our pupils or future-pupils. This is definitely not an easy task as it demands a lot of creativity, experience and understandings in the fields related. Games is the easiest way to do this, say many. Yes, indeed, as children naturally enjoy games. They lihgten up at every opportunity they get to play something. So, what we would like recomend to you is, try this site out!!!
http://www.primarygames.com/math.htm
This link is full of various games of mathematics. This site offers a chance to the pupils to see that numerals can be fun. As teachers, we should make use of the various games in this site to promote learning mathematics. Our personal favourite game in this site is Puzzle Sudoku. (I actually bumped into this site while surfing for online Sudoku games as I'm a Sudoku fan). This is a slightly altered version of Sudoku that can give a change for those bright kids who are tired of messing with the same traditional type of Sudoku.
So, happy gaming we'd like to wish you and adios for now.
